Drilling
Output is rising fast in the South American shale play and putting Argentina on a course to soon reach 1 million B/D.
This guest editorial addresses the need for high-temperature directional drilling technologies as the number of rigs used to develop next-generation geothermal wells is set to rise in the coming years.
This study aims to systematically assess casing integrity and corrosion risks associated with CO2 injection in oil-recovery operations.

Smackover Lithium, an Equinor joint venture, will drill new wells on the Franklin project to get a better understanding of its brine makeup and lithium potential. -
Angola expects an 18% rise in natural gas production by 2030 as global producers invest in offshore exploration and new field development.
-
Developing the theory of mechanical specific energy from the perspective of instantaneous drilling power rather than the compressive strength of the formation leads to an improved understanding of drill-bit mechanical efficiency.
